in cotton through Wolfe. He knew how
each deal went, but never knew at any
any time the amount of losses or gains.
He knew he had lost over 100000 in
cotton speculation, but when pressed on
the question whether it WIS not over
500. 900, he said he thought not He
said he had never taken the trouble to
count it up; that he did not want to
know it.
Many questions were addressed by
Col. Tompkins for the purpose OF fin
ding out how long it was before the wit
ness lost the $50, 900 which he said he
had when he became treasurer. On this
his memory became very defective. He
could not recollect the dates and amounts
Of his various losses, nor could his mem
ory be refreshed by questions suggested
by documents in the hands of the State.
Some questions were put to him about
the property he owned in Montgomery
and about the furnishing of his resie
dence on Court street, but they devel-
oped nothing startling. He was ques'
toned mainly as to the circumstances OF
leaving in 1888. He admitted he knew
his money was short, that he had been
reminded OF it by his clerk, Mr.. Craw-
ford, and had been informed that the
legislative committee was going to exam
inc his Office the next day after; he left
he said he told his clerk he would get up
his money from Varcon's banks where it
was deposited, and have it there. He
gotit from other banks in the city ex>
cept Wolfe. He had been, looking for
Mr.. Wolfe here for some days. He
| went to Wolffe's Office in the afternoon
and found that Wolfe wasn't there, and
his clerk did not know when he would
come. He concluded he would 60 to
New York and see Mr. Wolfe 2 in
person. He did not think the Legislature
committee would get through with the
examination OF the office in less than a
week, and he would be able to get back
before they counted his money.
He detailed the beginng of his trip and
his getting to Cincinnati and there send-
ing the accounts in papers of his being a
| fugitive from justice and OF reward Of
fered for him. He then said it was not
worth the while to 60 to New York and
went to st. Louis. From St. Louis be
went down the Mississippi River stop
ping at different places. Finally, how
ever, he went to New York and sailed for
Kingston, Jamaica. There he stayed
about two years, when he went to Mexi-
co and then finally drifted into Texas,
where he was captured last spring.
